A 20-year-old Brazilian student has sold her virginity in an online auction to a Japanese man named Natsu for £483,000, or $772,000 in U.S. dollars. Catarina Migliorini's virginity was bid on by 15 people. Lucas Zaiden placing the starting bid of $1 earlier on the Web site Virgins Wanted.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The auction was organized by Australian filmmaker Jason Sisely, who began work on the Virgins Wanted project in 2009.

A man, 21-year-old Alex Stepanov from Sydney, also put his virginity up for sale, but only garnered £1,860. His virginity sold to Nene B from Brazil.

Migliorini will now be flown to Australia where she and Stepanov will meet the winning bidders. They will then lose their virginities in a secret location.

Migliorini justified the auction as she had not found the right person to have sex with and that taking part in the auction was "more sane" than having sex with a stranger drunk at a party.

She denies accusations of prostitution. "I saw this as a business. I have the opportunity to travel, to be part of a movie and get a bonus with it.

"If you only do it once in your life then you are not a prostitute, just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically make you a photographer," she told journalists.

"The auction closed last night and Catarina is extremely excited. She was speaking to her family in Brazil online and they were extremely happy for her. But I guess they didn't expect her to do something like this," Sisely told reporters.

Migliorini says she plans to use the money to build homes for poverty-stricken families.

Under the terms and conditions of the auction, the winning bidder must have a medical examination and a police check. In addition, the winners may not be intoxicated during their time with the virgin, kiss them or involve anyone else. They are also prohibited from recording the encounter. They are also warned not to expect to have any fantasies or fetishes fulfilled.

Sex for money ... = ... prostitution.

("Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." --Jeremiah 1:5)

Her tax return and financial statements should be interesting..she’ll want to claim the $$ as a long term capital gain...as opposed to ordinary income, whereas her CPA will want to invoke GAPP, treat it as a ‘One-time’ extraordinary item..and then use accelerated depreciation to negate the tax liability..

I think what is really depressing is that there is some “film maker” out there that thought up this idea. I was going to say “what’s next - commit suicide on film for a price?” ... but I seem to recall that has already been done.

Well, this is probably drawing a fine line, but given that she's being paid to do a movie about this, wouldn't she more properly be called a "porn star" than a prostitute? Granted that many people consider porn stars prostitutes, and I won't argue pro or con that point of view.

Just sayin', a prostitute makes a living having sex -- they call themselves "sex workers".

This girl, so far, is still a virgin.

If in fact she does it just this once for money -- and there's a movie made of it -- then I suggest she be called a "ONE-SHOT PORN STAR".

I wonder how many of the holier-than-thous here have indulged in premarital sex, and have had more than one sexual partner in their entire life - both not too many shades away from actual whoring - only difference being that the currency is short-term “companionship” outside the commitment of marriage.

Shrug. She can deny being a prostitute, but she is undeniably commiting an act of prostitution...albeit for a lot of money. I'm surprised a similar auction hasn't already occured in Nevada, where prostitution is legal.

Jake: [fakes accent] How much for the little girl? How much for the women?
Father: What?
Jake: Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children!

Maybe they're just mad because all they got was a dinner at Red Lobster and a few dances at the prom.

(See #25 above)

Hell, as I recall (it was a LONG time ago) I didn't even get THAT much.... :)
